<p>I want to do pre-med, but I just might pick SEAS for biomedical engineering. lol</p>

<p>Do I have a single digit percent chance like everyone else? :/</p>

<p>My STATS</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9 freshman, 4.33 soph, 5.0 junior = don't know total [all these are obviously weighted GPAs]
Class rank: 2/500~
SAT I: 2260/2270: 73 V, 74/75 M, 79 W
SAT IIs: 800's on Math II, US History & Chem.... a lowly 690 in Bio (heh)</p>

<p>AP's
5's - Chem, Euro, Eng Lang, Environ Sci, Physics B
4's - French Lang & Us. history <-- doesn't make sense, cuz i got an 800 in USH</p>

<p>coming to the US at age 8 w/o speaking a word of english, and then accomplishing all of this (including scoring really well on many non-math tests) is impressive! good job. i'd say you have a pretty good chance of getting in - academic and test stats are strong, and ec's are good enough (although could be better). 30% chance just because ivies are crazy. maybe a little higher for seas.</p>

<p>Thanks beef. People used to tell me that since i'm in the bay area, there are TONS of high-achieving immigrants, so I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Especially because I came to the US about 9 long years ago.</p>

<p>yup, u definetly have a shot. good luck</p>

<p>Thanks guys. Feedback seems really positive...</p>

<p>When I posted my stats in the Stanford forum, people were like "you have ok chances. apply somehwere else for early where you have a better chance of getting in"</p>

<p>Isn't Columbia kind of on the same level as Stanford?</p>

7

<p>Columbia SEAS vs. Stanford engineering? Nope.</p>

8

<p>um Stanford doesn't have impacted majors?</p>

<p>I wasn't even sure if i was for sure doing Columbia SEAS
For Stanford, I was going with Chemistry</p>
